Bing adviser indicted in Highwaymen Motorcycle Club crackdown

The Detroit News reports:

An attorney at Miller Canfield who on Wednesday was named to Mayor Dave Bing's "crisis turnaround team" is among 74 defendants named Thursday in a sweeping racketeering indictment unsealed against the Highwaymen Motorcycle Club.

Hatim "Tim" Attalla is charged in the indictment with conspiracy to posses and distribute illegal drugs. It's alleged he advised arrested club members to keep quiet about former club vice-president Aref "Scarface" Nagi's involvement in drug dealing, supplied Nagi with a variety of pills, and acted "as general counsel to the enterprise."

Attalla could not immediately be reached. On Wednesday, Bing named Attalla to the legal section of his turnaround team.

Great moments in Blue America.
